| irstupid said: Just got to say QUIT comparing to Apple. Its totally different. 1. Apple releases new hardware every couple years. Lets say Iphone sold 15 million in 2 years, and then Iphone 2 sold 20 million in 2 years. That isn't 35 million iphone users. Could be anywhere from 20-35 million users, and based on knowing how fanatic apple lovers are I would bet its closer to the 20 million figure. Meanwhile Sony won't be having them buying new PSP2's every couple years 2. Iphone doesn't cost $600. You get it for like $100 with a new 2 year plan, and that is what people are paying for it. So unless Sony does something like that you can't say if Apple can sell 15 million at $600, then Sony can. |
I think comparisons are fine because they show that SONY may not have done enough market/ consumer reserach.
I agree with you. Apple focuses on huge margins since they can leverage their brand and phone subsidies. SONY won't really have either of those to support a high cost.
And I think the PSP2 may not have designed in order to maximize revenue. SONY may be going the high end route. Which is fine but they will sell less then the 3DS by nature. Although a lot of fanboys will say its a failure, it could be a huge sucess for that specific market.
